About this book

Barth, Derrida and the Language of Theology (Volume 0) by Ward, Graham. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780521657082.

This study offers a new and original analysis of the problem of religious language. Taking as its starting point Karl Barths doctrine of analogy, the author draws parallels between Barths insights into the language of theology and the work of Emmanuel Levinas and Jacques Derrida, and concludes that Barths doctrine of analogy is a theological reading of Derridas economy of différance. This important interpretation reveals Barths closeness to postmodern thinking and underlines his relevance to current debates on the language of theology.
